About the role

  • Machine Learning Scientist developing and deploying novel methods for optical connectomics at E11 Bio. Collaborating with experts to transform microscopy data into synaptic connectivity information.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, implement, and evaluate scalable pipelines for synapse detection and partner assignment in large-scale optical connectomics datasets, integrating morphological and protein labeling information
  • Collaborate with wet lab scientists and domain experts to develop methods for detecting and classifying cellular and synaptic subtypes
  • Take ownership of structuring and organizing connectivity data into well-defined data models, and building developer-facing tooling to maximize the long-term usability, accessibility, and impact of generated connectivity data
  • Assist in any ML-adjacent image processing needs that may arise during scaling of the processing and analysis pipeline (e.g. image volume registration, multimodal feature extraction, label-free prediction etc.)
  • Collaborate closely with users and stakeholders to deliver clear, accurate, and actionable connectivity information
  • Partner with wet lab, microscopy, and computational teams to optimize data analysis workflows and inform data acquisition strategies

Requirements

  • Ph.D. in computer science, machine learning, applied math, computational biology or a related field in science and/or engineering or Ph.D.-equivalent publication history
  • 3-5 years of relevant work or research experience, with strong history of independent and autonomous execution of novel ML solutions
  • Strong background in computer vision and applying ML tools to the analysis of large microscopy data sets
  • Experience with software engineering best practices (e.g. version control, code reviews, etc)
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, record keeping ability, and attention to detail

Benefits

  • Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance through a PPO plan; parental leave
  • Generous time off + paid holidays
  • Ample healthy and energizing food including daily lunches
  • Wellness allowance for fitness and wellness activities
